Atlético B suffer third away defeat

Two strikes from Iván González hand Lugo a 2-0 win

Atlético B have lost yet again after crashing to a 2-0 defeat away at Lugo.

After five games Atlético B have collected just two points, losing all three of their away games.

Iván González was the big man for Lugo, scoring both goals.

In the 11th minute González scored from a corner, and just after the half hour mark he completed his brace after a well-executed counter attack.

Atlético B were never able to worry Lugo’s goalkeeper Escalona. The second half was an improvement over the first with the changes Antonio Rivas made, but it wasn’t enough for our second team to earn their first points away from home this season.

At least Perea is back, but it seems like the golden age of the cantera is over.

I agree. The players that were rated highly in recent years have all left Atlético B recently. Koke, Borja, Dominguez, Pulido, Cédric, Keko, Pacheco and Joel are no longer there.

There are still some talented players left like Perea, Sergio Marcos, Gallegos and Saul, but this team is now full of mediocre players that have no shot at making it in the Vicente Calderon. It will always be like that of course, but right now the situation seems worse. The team’s in a transition period with all the changes that have been made this summer, and need a win badly

You think Koke is gone permanently? He played the former three games…

He needs his minutes, if he can get those in the first team, even better, but he needs playing time.
I also don’t see why Rivas won’t use Gallegos, use the gold you have in your hands!

Why not all those players Derek mentioned up front + maybe Collado? It would take a good defensive midfielder, but you’ll test the one you place there really good and this might increase the speed of growth!
